Glitter & Bling

This Super fun glittery card uses the glitter background technique from the August/September issue of Technique Junkies called Glitter Ribbons! This card uses Come to Bethlehem Stamp set, Brushed Gold CS, Black CS, Sticky Sheet, Basic Black Craft ink, Cutter Kit, Iridescent Ice EP. Fine Glitter, Rhinestones, Black Taffeta Ribbon, Big Shot and Scallop Oval die.

I used four different glitter colors for this background. SU Fine Cosmo-Celery, SU Fine Galaxy-Black, Gold and Champagne. This glitter is so rich and eye catching! Double-click on the pictures to see a close up view!

Simple Nativity

A simple card using the Come to Bethlehem set, Deck the Halls DS paper, Top Note Die and Early Espresso ink. I used Whisper White CS, Espresso Taffteta ribbon, Decorative Label punch, En Francia background on the top note and a rhinestone on the star.

Bethlehem Collage

If you click on this pic to enlarge it, you can see the oval punched out with the greeting stamped and placed behind it and the scallop oval punched out and placed over the top around the oval. It's a cool look but sadly kinda lost on this background paper. That and it's almost too much going on but I really like the image embossed over this Deck the Halls DS paper! I layered the background over the waffle paper and then on Espresso CS. I used Espresso Craft ink and clear powder to emboss the image and words. I love those new Antique Brads-I want to use them on everything, they are surprisingly light weight!

Paper Pieced Frame

I love this set, Just got it and decided to make some cards with it! It's called Come to Bethlehem! I cut out the Oval Scallop Frame with the die and the Big Shot using Crumb Cake CS. I then used scrap pieces of Deck The Halls DS paper and  cut out more frame pieces and then attached them over the CS frame. I liked the look of this with pieced together papers! I used Vanilla Taffteta Ribbon and sponged this lightly with Burgundy Ink. The image and words were stamped with Early Espresso Classic Ink. The background paper from the same Paper pack was sponged with Espresso ink around the edges and the base card is Bravo Burgundy CS. The Rhinestone on the star adds the finishing touch!
